Warmup
Dynamic
- Dumbbell Bench- 8 sets of 3 explosive reps @ 50-60% 1RM
- If you’re not sure of your dumbbell 1RM, just choose a weight that is fairly easy to do and allows you to work on movement control and explosiveness.
Volume (add 5-10 lbs to weights used from workout last week)
- [Superset 1- Chest/Back] 4 sets, 6-8 reps
- [Superset 2- Chest/Back] 4 sets, 8-12 reps
- [Superset 3- Biceps/Triceps] 4 sets, 6-8 reps
- [Superset 4- Biceps/Triceps] 4 sets, 8-12 reps
This is the last week we’ll use this workout for volume day; we’ll be switching it up the movements next week to change it up, keep the muscles guessing.

The Arnie clip was badass.
,Never heard of forced sets. Probably bcuease I like to workout alone and never have anyone to spot me. Either way, I know I have to keep my body guessing in order to see continual improvement. Lately, I’ve reintroduced super sets to my workouts, but giant sets are starting to look pretty appealing. Actually, giant sets sound like a pain, but they also sound really effective. 1 week ago
